Highlights: For all of those fans who thought Indiana center Cody Zeller was overrated- just ask Michigan and check out his stat line of 19 points and 10 rebounds on 8-of-10 shooting from the floor.

2. Florida Gators

2012-13 Record: 18-2 (8-0 SEC)

Previous Rankings: 5

Last Week: W vs. South Carolina; W vs. Ole Miss

This Week: 2/5 @ Arkansas; 2/9 vs. Mississippi St.

Highlights: It's time to finally give this Florida team the credit it deserves- it's lone 2 losses on the year were by a combined 7 points, both away from home and the Gators are killing teams ever since.

3. Duke Blue Devils

2012-13 Record: 19-2 (6-2 ACC)

Previous Rankings: 4

Last Week: W @ Wake Forest; W @ Florida St.

This Week: 2/7 vs. NC State; w/10 @ Boston College

Highlights: Due to N.C. State's recent collapse, the Blue Devils will face just one ranked team the rest of the way, March 2nd against a Miami team that leads the ACC with an undefeated mark.

4. Michigan Wolverines

2012-13 Record: 20-2 (7-2 Big Ten)

Previous Rankings: 2

Last Week: W vs. Northwestern; L @ Indiana

This Week: 2/5 vs. Ohio St.; 2/9 @ Wisconsin

Highlights: It's never easy to win on the road in conference, especially in Bloomington when the Hoosiers were rocking like they were. Trey Burke kept the Wolverines in it all the way.

5. Kansas Jayhawks

2012-13 Record: 19-2 (7-1 Big 12)

Previous Rankings: 1

Last Week: L vs. Oklahoma St.

This Week: 2/6 @ TCU; 2/9 @ Oklahoma

Highlights: The Cowboys came into Lawrence, Kansas and upset our top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks, snapping a 33-game home win streak, but Kansas is still one of the top 4-5 contenders for the National Title.

6. Gonzaga Bulldogs

2012-13 Record: 21-2 (8-0 West Coast)

Previous Rankings: 6

Last Week: W @ Loyola-Marymount; W @ San Diego

This Week: 2/7 vs. Pepperdine; w/9 vs. Loyola-Marymount

Highlights: This Gonzaga team should not be taken lightly- the Zags have the best frontcourt rotation in the country and could run the table the rest of the way by leaning on their bigs.

7. Miami (FL) Hurricane

2012-13 Record: 17-3 (8-0 Big East)

Previous Rankings: 11

Last Week: W @ Virginia Tech; W @ N.C. State

This Week: 2/5 vs. Boston College; 2/9 vs. North Carolina

Highlights: Miami continues to dominate the ACC with a 2-game lead in conference and a decent home schedule the rest of the way to win the league outright.

8. Arizona Wildcats

2012-13 Record: 19-2 (7-2 Pac-12)

Previous Rankings: 9

Last Week: W @ Washington St.

This Week: 2/6 vs. Stanford; 2/10 vs. Cal

Highlights: Arizona is the most talented team in the conference, yet will likely lose the Pac-12 regular-season title due to a tie-breaker with Oregon.

9. Louisville Cardinals

2012-13 Record: 18 (6-3- Big East)

Previous Rankings: 12

Last Week: W vs. Marquette

This Week: 2/6 @ Rutgers; 2/9 @ Notre Dame

Highlights: This could be potentially a tough week for the Cardinals- Rutgers and Notre Dame are both on the road and more than capable of winning a game from Louisville.

10. Syracuse Orange

2012-13 Record: 19-3 (7-2 Big East)

Previous Rankings: 7

Last Week: L @ Pittsburgh; W vs. Notre Dame

This Week: 2/10 vs. St. John's

Highlights: Will Syracuse get James Southerland back at some point; he is currently appealing his academic suspension, but who knows?

11. Michigan State Spartans

2012-13 Record: 18-4 (7-2) Big Ten)

Previous Rankings: 13

Last Week: W vs. Illinois

This Week: 2/6 vs. Minnesota; 2/9 @ Purdue

Highlights: This team is tough to figure out- the guards are talented, but inconsistent, leading to the notion that center Adreian Payne and his hot streak have made him the best player on this team.

12. Ohio State Buckeyes

2012-13 Record: 17-4 (7-2 Big Ten)

Previous Rankings: 17

Last Week: W vs. Wisconsin; W @ Nebraska

This Week: 2/5 @ Michigan; 2/10 vs. Indiana

Highlights: The only way this week could get tougher for the Ohio State Buckeyes was if their home game against Indiana got moved to Bloomington. They will have to have their A+ game this week to come away with at least one win.

13. Georgetown Hoyas

2012-13 Record: 16-4 (6-3 Big East)

Previous Rankings: 18

Last Week: W vs. Seton Hall; W vs. St. John's

This Week: 2/9 @ Rutgers

Highlights: The offense has been surprisingly more efficient without starting power forward Greg Whittington on the floor for the Hoyas, who is suspended due to academics.

14. Butler Bulldogs

2012-13 Record: 18-3 (5-1 A-10)

Previous Rankings: 10

Last Week: L @ Saint Louis; W vs. Rhode Island

This Week: 2/6 vs. St. Bonaventure; 2/9 @ George Washington

Highlights: The A-10 may just very well be the 4th best conference in the country behind the Big Ten, Big East and Mountain West top-to-bottom.

15. New Mexico Lobos

2012-13 Record: 19-3 (6-1 Mountain West)

Previous Rankings: 20

Last Week: W @ Wyoming; W vs. Nevada

This Week: 2/6 vs. Air Force; 2/9 @ UNLV

Highlights: The Mountain West is right up there as one of the nation's best conferences and New Mexico is the leader of the pack with a 1-game lead, not over SDSU or UNLV, but Colorado State and Air Force.

16. Kansas State Wildcats

2012-13 Record: 17-4 (6-2 Big 12)

Previous Rankings: 19

Last Week: W vs. Texas; W @ Oklahoma

This Week: 2/5 @ Texas Tech; 2/9 vs. Iowa St.

Highlights: Kansas State bounced back from an 0-2 week with 2 straight conference wins, but have a stretch looming with the conference's hottest teams.

17. Creighton Bluejays

2012-13 Record: 20-3 (9-2 Missouri Valley)

Previous Rankings: 21

Last Week: W vs. Missouri St.; W vs. Bradley

This Week: 2/6 @ Indiana St.; 2/9 vs. Illinois St.

Highlights: Defenses throw themselves at Greg McDermott trying to slow him down, yet the versatile forward continues to pile up the scoring and rebounding stats in an efficient manner.

18. Cincinnati Bearcats

2012-13 Record: 18-4 (6-3 Big East)

Previous Rankings: 25

Last Week: W vs. Rutgers; W @ Seton Hall

This Week: 2/6 @ Providence; 2/9 vs. Pittsburgh

Highlights: Cincinnati finds themselves tied for 3rd place in the Big East at the moment with four other teams 1-game back of conference-leading Syracuse.

19. Pittsburgh Panthers

2012-13 Record: 19-5 (7-4 Big East)

Previous Rankings: N/A

Last Week: W vs. Syracuse; W vs. Seton Hall

This Week: 2/9 @ Cincinnati

Highlights: Pittsburgh goes 10 deep in its rotation, but lacks the go-to scorer to make them a consistent threat.

20. Oklahoma State

2012-13 Record: 15-5 (5-3 Big 12)

Previous Rankings: N/A

Last Week: W vs. Iowa St.; W @ Kansas

This Week: 2/6 vs. Baylor; 2/9 @ Texas

Highlights: This Oklahoma State team, led by Marcus Smart, is beginning to fulfill some of their massive potential. If they had a low-post big man, they'd be a legit national contender.

21. Oregon Ducks

2012-13 Record: 18-4 (7-2 Pac-12)

Previous Rankings: 8

Last Week: L @ Stanford; L @ Cal

This Week: 2/7 vs. Colorado; 2/9 vs. Utah

Highlights: Oregon's undefeated conference run came to an end with two straight losses thanks in part to the absence of Dominic Artis, the team's starting point guard. The team needs to find an answer without him.

22. N.C. State Wolfpack

2012-13 Record: 16-6 (5-4 ACC)

Previous Rankings: 14

Last Week: L @ Virginia; L vs. Miami

This Week: 2/7 @ Duke; 2/10 @ Clemson

Highlights: We are giving NC State a semi-pass by keeping them in the rankings due to the injury of Lorenzo Brown. He should be back this week, just in time for a matchup with Duke and much-needed win.

23. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

2012-13 Record: 18-5 (6-4 Big East)

Previous Rankings: N/A

Last Week: W vs. DePaul; L @ Syracuse

This Week: 2/9 vs. Louisville; 2/13 vs. DePaul

Highlights: Notre Dame is failing to live up to its potential with veteran guards and a solid frontcourt rotation, but there's no doubt Mike Brey will get this team back in order.

24. Minnesota Golden Gophers

2012-13 Record: 17-5 (5-4 Big Ten)

Previous Rankings: N/A

Last Week: W vs. Nebraska; W vs. Iowa

This Week: 2/6 @ Michigan St; 2/10 vs. Illinois

Highlights: Wins versus Nebraska and Iowa shouldn't exactly be celebrated, but it's a step back on the victory track for the Golden Gophers.

25. Wichita State Shockers

2012-13 Record: 19-4 (8-3 Missouri Valley)

Previous Rankings: 15

Last Week: L vs. Indiana St; L @ Northern Iowa

This Week: 2/5 @ Southern Illinois; 2/9 vs. Missouri St.

Highlights: Last week, we picked Indiana State over Wichita State as our upset special. Now, Wichita state needs to get healthy and back on the winning track.
